Chapter 568 Pleading
Natalie fired up the video again, skipped to the 22-minute mark, and hit pause. Pointing at a black mole on the woman's waist, she turned to Rosalie and said, "Seriously? You can't even recognize Alice's mole?"
Rosalie took one look at the mole and just crumpled into the chair.
She clutched her chest, gasping for air.
Of course, Rosalie knew Alice had a mole on her waist.
The woman in the video was definitely Alice.
Rosalie couldn't wrap her head around it. Alice really had done that? It blew her mind. In Rosalie's world, Alice was the golden girl of the Cullen family, spoiled by everyone. Sure, the Cullen family wasn't as loaded as the Howards, but the Cullen Group still pulled in a cool ten to twenty million a year. Alice had it all. In middle school, she got ten grand a month, and by high school, it was fifty grand.
How could Alice do something so reckless?
Rosalie also couldn't believe Natalie would be involved in this mess.
Natalie had always been the good girl—kind, reserved, and disciplined.
Rosalie thought maybe Natalie did it because she needed a kidney transplant and cash. Maybe she had to sell herself for Rosalie's sake.
But Rosalie never imagined the girl in the video was Alice.
Natalie saw the look on Rosalie's face—pure disbelief, shock, panic, and heartbreak. She didn't want to keep hurting her. She had planned to take the video to Avery.
She told Rosalie, "Get out of here. Don't come looking for me again. We're done."
Rosalie's lips quivered. "Are you gonna expose this video?"
Natalie's voice was ice-cold. "Yes."
Rosalie begged, "Please don't."
"No way!" Natalie felt like her heart had turned to stone. She couldn't feel any pain anymore, no matter how many times it got shattered.
Natalie said, "Rosalie, you wanna beg for Alice? Fine, have her come here, get her on her knees, and beg for my forgiveness. Then maybe I'll think about it."
Natalie didn't want to stick around any longer. She turned to leave, and Heather quickly closed the laptop to catch up. But Rosalie shoved Natalie aside and grabbed the laptop.
Despite her slim frame, Rosalie found some crazy strength and almost knocked Heather over.
"What are you doing, Mrs. Teeger?" Heather watched as Rosalie clung to the laptop like her life depended on it. She tried to get it back, but Rosalie kept backing away, pleading with Natalie, "Natalie, please, I'm begging you, forgive Alice just this once. Don't release the video, please! If you do, Alice is done for."
"That is none of my business." Natalie's beautiful, pale face was stone-cold, and her clear eyes were empty. "Even if Alice dropped dead in front of me right now, I'd clap my hands."
Heather didn't get all the details between Natalie and Rosalie, but she was pissed at Rosalie's stunt, taking her laptop and begging Natalie not to release the video.
She said, "Mrs. Teeger, I've got a backup of the video. Even if you take the laptop, it won't change a thing."
